To serve jamón (ham in Spanish) consists not only in cutting slices thinly and put them on a plate as you like. It is much more than that. You just need a bit of good taste and practice to surprise everyone. For this reason one of the most difficult tasks is to carve a Spanish ham (serrano or Iberian). « Cutting an Iberian ham is an art that requires talent, practice and precision.» (Jose Ángel Muñoz, Master hamcutter of Arturo Sanchez).
This task always correspond to a master hamcutter or master carver, as a professional ham cutter, a «sculptor» or «carver» who specializes in cutting the whole ham or shoulder from start to finish, shaping it and getting the most out of it. His cutting technique is an art in achieving the perfect slices so that our palates enjoy each bite to the fullest. It is important to emphasize that the cut must be made with the right tools.
Iberico (or Iberian) ham is a mouth-wateringly delicious cured Spanish ham known for its nutty flavour and creamy stripes of fat that run through it. The combination of the purity of the 100% Iberian breed, the age (which is practically double the usual) and a diet based on acorns during two long “montaneras”, results in a unique meat quality and infiltrated fat.
This is the basis for the production of the best Iberian hams.
